Bad week for the undefeated teams

[RollTideMang]

Halloween weekend took its toll on the undefeated teams left this season.

Before Saturday there were 9 teams: Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, Washington, Nebraska, Baylor, West Virginia, Boise State, and Western Michigan.

4 of those teams went down this week leaving 5 remaining unbeaten teams: Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, Washington, and Western Michigan. Clemson and Washington were very close to not being on this list.

Clemson looks to have a pretty easy road ahead of them for the rest of the season. They should remain unbeaten barring a total meltdown going into the ACCCG where they will meet either VT or UNC most likely.

Washington's remaining schedule isn't too bad, but they still have USC and Wazzou, which aren't gimmes in my opinion. USC looks like they've improved since the first few weeks after the demolition at the hands of Alabama.

Alabama has the toughest road ahead of them with LSU and Auburn. If we make it past them, then probably either Florida or Kentucky (LOL!) in the SECCG.

Michigan still has Ohio state, which will also be a tough game. If they make it past them, then either Nebraska or a rematch with Wisconsin.

Should be a very interesting final 1/3 of the season. Who does everyone see making it to the playoffs?

I've got Bama vs Washington in the Peach Bowl and Clemson vs Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl.

Sounds about right.

The teams that lost were going to lose eventually - no real surprises with respect their impact on the playoff bracket as no one has them making it. This weekend didn't change anything with respect the playoff bracket. My four remain:

Alabama
Clemson
Washington
Ohio State

I like your #4 pick. It's confident and could very well be the right pick to be honest. I think Michigan is going to win based only on how OSU has looked the past couple of weeks. The rivalry game though will be a different story, and I'm looking forward to watching it.

I'd be glad to have a Bama and OSU rematch as well.

The thing that you have to remember about the OSU/UM rivalry that differs significantly from the Alabama/Auburn rivalry - the better team is upset all the time in this game.

I think that the game against the Huskers is going to get the Buckeyes going again this week. We will take them apart and be ready to finish out the season with confidence.

This is the way I see it also and I pick tOSU because they are at home.

After this past weekend ...

1. Bama
2. Washington
3. Michigan
4. Clemson

At the end I still see something like:

1. Bama
2. Washington (should finish undefeated -- PAC 12 just offers little for competition but to me, Washington has looked better than Clemson)
3. Clemson (no team to play)
4. Ohio State (beats Michigan and come back in strong like 2014)

If we lost to LSU (which I don't think will happen) we'll still get in. Auburn might be a slightly more dangerous team. If we were to lose the IB (which again, I don't think will happen), we won't be getting in.
